[Eremothecium ashbyii mutants resistant to 8-azaguanine. III. Nucleotide pyrophosphorylase activity of mutants with a varying degree of 8-azaguanine resistance].
Eremothecium ashbyii mutants resistant to low and high concentrations of 8-azaguanine (AZG), have been obtained. In low resistant mutants (10(-4) M AZG) isolated by one step selection, the activity of GMP- and AMP-pyrophosphorylases was decreased, as compared with the initial sensitive strain. The stepwise increase of the mutants resistance to AZG resulted in increasing of resistance to 8-azaadenine and decreasing of the activity of GMP-pyrophosphorylase, while this did not affect the level of AMP-pyrophosphorylase. Characteristics of the cross-resistance of mutant to purine analogues and the level of nucleotide-pyrophosphorylases activity were discussed in the light of their possible influence on riboflavin biosynthesis.
